Additional Information
Snowblower wheel axle 738-0994A connects the left and right wheel assemblies to the snowblower frame, allowing the wheels to rotate evenly for smooth forward and reverse movement. A properly functioning axle helps maintain traction and balance during snow clearing.
If your snowblower wheels wobble, bind, or show uneven wear, the axle may be bent, worn, or damaged and should be replaced. Replacing the wheel axle restores alignment and ensures even wheel rotation for safe, consistent performance.
Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove both wheel assemblies, detach the damaged axle, and install the new one securely with the appropriate hardware. Reattach the wheels and tighten all fasteners. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.
